The Tello is a compact quadcopter designed for both indoor and outdoor flight in windless conditions. It integrates a Vision Positioning System and an onboard camera, making it capable of precise hovering and capturing high-quality media. The aircraft is equipped with advanced flight control technology, a video downlink system, and a Flight Battery to power its operations.
The Tello's primary function is to provide an accessible and enjoyable flying experience, suitable for users of varying skill levels. It can be controlled manually via virtual joysticks within the Tello app or through a compatible remote controller. The aircraft offers two distinct manual flight speeds: "Slow" (default) for beginners, which limits the maximum flight attitude angle to 9° and speed to 6.7 mph (10.8 kph), and "Fast" for more experienced pilots, allowing a maximum attitude angle of 25° and speed of 17.8 mph (28.8 kph). Switching to "Fast" mode requires acknowledging disclaimers and warnings in the app.
Beyond manual control, the Tello features several Intelligent Flight Modes that automate complex maneuvers, enhancing the fun and creative possibilities of flight. These modes include:
The Tello's camera captures 5-megapixel photos and streams 720p live video. Its Electronic Image Stabilization feature ensures clear images and smooth video recording. Photos and videos can be viewed directly in the Tello app and copied to a mobile device.
The Vision Positioning System (VPS) is crucial for the Tello's stability, helping it maintain its current position. This system, comprising a camera and a 3D infrared module on the underside of the aircraft, is automatically activated upon power-on. It is most effective at altitudes between 1.0 and 98.4 ft (0.3 to 30 m), with optimal performance at 1.0 to 19.7 ft (0.3 to 6 m). If the VPS becomes unavailable, the aircraft automatically switches to Attitude mode (ATTI mode), where it cannot position itself and is more susceptible to environmental factors like wind.
Failsafe Protection is integrated into the Tello, ensuring a safe landing if the mobile device's signal is weak or lost for 50 seconds, or if the Tello app crashes. Propeller guards are also provided to enhance safety by reducing the risk of harm or damage from accidental collisions.
Operating the Tello begins by turning on the aircraft and launching the Tello app on a mobile device. Connection is established by enabling Wi-Fi on the mobile device and selecting the "TELLO-XXXXXX" network. Once connected, the live camera view appears in the app.
The Tello app serves as the central control interface, offering a range of functionalities:
Before the first flight, it is essential to read the Tello User Manual, Quick Start Guide, and Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines. Watching tutorial videos on the RYZE Tech website is also recommended. A test flight is advised for first-time users, involving auto takeoff, virtual joystick control, and auto landing in a flat, open area.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the Tello.
Adherence to flight environment requirements and local regulations is also a critical aspect of safe operation and maintenance. The Tello should only be flown in open, windless areas, away from obstacles, people, animals, buildings, and bodies of water. Avoid flying in adverse weather conditions or areas with significant magnetic or radio interference.
